Why?

I chose this book because of the underlying themes and the fact that the interesting and often shocking narrative spoke to me.

Themes of lust, betrayal, religion and love run throughout the novel and the issues raised with regards to sexuality are something that interested me. I was also interested in the period in which the book was set, the 1960's.

I am going to look into the period, setting, and all contextual elements of the novel and take it apart in order to begin my creation of three fashion based looks.

Exciting!
